Publisher's Summary

When a body is discovered at a popular Highland landmark, it seems like just another day on the job for DCI Jack Logan and his team. 

Except this body is missing a very vital component, and given its location - The Well of Seven Heads - it seems like someone is trying to send a message. But why? And to whom? 

With pressure mounting from his superiors, 600 teenagers baying for blood, and the press sniffing around for a scandal, the only chance Jack has of cracking his latest case is if he finds a way to keep the heid, while all around are losing theirs. 

Ahead of the Game is the 10th book from best-selling Scottish crime author, JD Kirk, and is perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart Macbride, and Val McDermid.

Ahead of the Game is Fantastic!

I've been listening to the DCI Logan series since it first came out and have loved every minute. JD Kirk is brilliant and Angus King is amazing! Although the series is a Crime Thriller, I have laughed my way through all of the character development and interactions with the team. This book; however, I almost cried. It was close, but Bob had me laughing again. Thank you and keep up the great work, please.

Not For Me

I do enjoy these and I will give 2 stars. The humour is usually one of the key good features but there was something slightly amiss in this one for me. Perhaps it was slightly forced, perhaps some of the descriptions were too long, it didn’t quite gel and for the first time ever, I found myself fast forwarding through the laboured parts. No spoilers, I hope, but surely Tyler couldn’t be quite so stupid and still be on the force? DCI Logan had some real TSTL incidents which made the whole book seem a bit far fetched.
I found Angus Kind to be a over the top with his narration of DCI Logan

Another great one in the Logan series

Love this series. The narrator is everything! I give Angus King 10 stars alone!

Another great Jack Logan mystery

once you start listening to this series, you won't want to stop. Well written, and we'll developed characters you can't help but love. Plus great stories with well solved plots.

the best

the best author. the best series. the best laugh. the best entertainment. the best character mix.

every episode is great!@

Angus King brings these well crafted characters to life. each of them. My favourite is 2nd in command, DI Constable Benjamin Ford. Older, wiser. funnier, dearest.
The stories are very interesting and keep you guessing who the murderer is. All of it is a set up for the crazy banter and good natured ribbing.
These are really my favourite parts.
They call it " Winding you up"and you know they love each other. And will protect each other. Ben Ford better never die. He's too important to the scripts, or the stories or the relationships. I have a feeling. Ben is favourite of all the characters. Especially the author J.D. KIRK and Angus King, the actor who makes all characters live!!!! Long may they may they all rein !!! On to next episode for me!!!

Another gripping mystery thriller.

As I read more of the books in this series, I find I’m enjoying the characters and their development more and more. They’re human - flawed, scarred, complex. Narration always great.

Kirk keeps getting better!

I'm currently binge-listening to this series, and each book is better than the last!

Angus King is a world class narrator, and he brings JD Kirk's epic storytelling to life.

Like this series

Took a bit longer to get comfortable with this series than some others. Partly because of the heavy Scottish accent. Also wasn’t sure where it fell on the humorous-silly-serious scale. I have decided I like the bits of humor and even the silly mixed in with the serious.

a blast

This was just what I needed lately. Good story, hilarious dialogue, humans respecting each other even while being human and hilarious. Top narration.

Absolutely brilliant 😱

Really enjoyed this book, the story is gripping, the main characters are funny at times and this just makes it even better, keeps you guessing all the way through, love this author and will definitely be getting more of their books As for the narrator just could not be any better, whole thing is great.

Another “Page Turner”

Really been enjoying this series by JD Kirk. So glad to see the Bob Hoon character still lurking in the wings in the latest book. I found myself frequently laughing out loud on my early morning dog walks. Looking forward to the next book
